What do you do when you come across a snake?

So out in the woods many of us come across snakes. Do you kill them or let them go? If it's venomous I kill them if not I let them move along.

 

Why kill the venomous?

I actually breed snakes and love hunting for them...with my camera.

 

I leave them alone whether poisonous or not.

 

I'll never say specifically...all I'm going to say is I practice predator management and I like my quail.

 

i scream like a girl! HATE them

 

Find an easy way around them whether there poisonous or not.

 

Let them go...

 

What that guy said

 

If they startle me I usually cuss a lot. Especially those copperheads, so hard to see...

 

I practice 5yd shots for any Cotton Mouth I come along. It's the 40yd pin on my bow.

 

run and scream like a girl. luckly i live in the north and very rarley see snakes. 1 a year but when i do my life changes for the next couple weeks even mowing the yard is scary. if i could pick one animal to go extinct.

 

If hunting I just walk around them. If around my home I put them in a box and move them to the woods.

 

Believe it or not in 58 years of running the woods and forests of the east US I have never walked up on a venomous snake. I've had quite a few black snake scare the bejeezus out of me though. I would kill a rattler, copperhead or cotton mouth. I don't have a fear of snakes but I don't want anyone else to get bit either.

Run like a *****. I have a phobia of snakes

 

Those are some nice pics. how many are you currently breeding?

 

That's pretty crazy not coming across any. I come across rattlers a lot but they are usually chipped and endangered so when I come across a copper head or cottonmouth I take them out. Too many here for my likings. I usually come across 10-15 during the summer months while getting ready for the season

 

I don't mind them and just let them be. If the wife finds them in the yard (she hates them) I have to pick them up and throw them in the neighbers yard before she goes after them with a shovel.

 

I just breed corn snakes and kingsnakes. I have about 30 adults right now. Here is a 6+ foot black rat snake that I found at work last week!

 

I use to kill every snake a came across. Now days I look at them for a few minutes an walk around them. No need in killing them.

Timber rattlers and copperheads die on spot. Too many close calls. All other snakes don't bother me in the least and they go free
